Astrocytes can gain neural stem cell properties after brain injury
New research shows that specific types of brain cells become active after brain injuries and exhibit properties similar to those of neural stem cells. Astrocyte plasticity might correlate with the upregulation of the Galectin 3 protein, which may significantly contribute to discovery of additional biomarkers. The study discovered that a specific protein regulates these cells and could be a target …
The Role of Chemokines in Stem Cell Migration & Immunomodulation
Chemokines, critical components in the immune system, are small proteins that facilitate the migration and positioning of immune cells throughout the body. They are vital in maintaining the body’s defense against foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. Understanding the fundamental principles of chemokine biology can significantly contribute to our knowledge and ability to help patients in the clinical and …
Parametric vs Nonparametric Statistics in Stem Cell Research
Stem cell research examines everything from gene expression to differentiation capacities to therapeutic potentials. With such diverse data types and complex experiments, researchers must determine the most appropriate statistical tests to analyze results. Parametric and nonparametric methods both play essential roles in stem cell data analysis. Parametric tests make assumptions about population parameters and rely on normally distributed data. Tests …
Intrathecal Delivery of Stem Cells in the Subarachnoid space
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary new treatment approach for neurological and spinal disorders. One up-and-coming method of administering stem cells is an intrathecal application, which involves injecting the cells directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This technique allows the stem cells to travel throughout the CSF and reach the brain and spinal cord, making it ideal for …
